ENFlying Tips and RepairsRange Check your Radio SystemAfter fi nal assembly, range check the radio system with the Spitfi re Mk IX.Refer to your specifi c transmitter instruction manual for range test information.FlyingAlways choose a wide-open space for fl ying your ParkZone Spitfi re Mk IX.It is ideal that you fl y at a sanctioned fl ying fi eld. If you are not fl ying at anapproved site, always avoid fl ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. Youshould also be careful to avoid fl ying in areas where there are many people,such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fi elds. Consult local laws andordinances before choosing a location to fl y your aircraft.The Spitfi re Mk IX is meant to be fl own like a warbird. Care must be givenwhen providing elevator input, especially when fl ying at higher speeds.If excessive elevator is given, especially at higher speeds, you could cause thewing to fl ex when making tight turns.Fly in this area(upwind of pilot)600 feet (182.8 m)Stand hereLandingFor your fi rst fl ights, set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 7 minutes.Adjust your timer for longer or shorter fl ights once you have fl own the model.When the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge thefl ight battery. It is not recommended to fl y the battery to LVC.The Spitfi re Mk IX is easiest to land doing a wheellanding (two point). A wheel landing (two point) iswhen the airplane touches down on the main landinggear fi rst with the tailwheel off the ground. The Spitfi reMk IX can be landed in three-point attitude, whereall three wheels touch down at the same time, butthe wheel landing is easier to accomplish. Once theairplane touches down, reduce back pressure on theelevator stick to prevent the plane from becomingairborne again. Fly the airplane down to the groundusing 1/4 –1/3 throttle to allow for enough energy fora proper fl are.Alwaysdecrease throttle atpropeller strike.Avoid sharp turns on the ground until the plane has slowed enough to preventscraping the wingtips.NOTICE: When fi nished fl ying, never keep the airplane in the sun. Do not storethe aircraft in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damagethe foam.RepairsThanks to the Z-Foam construction of the Spitfi re Mk IX, repairs to the foamcan be made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA (cyanocrylateadhesive), epoxy, etc). When parts are not repairable, see the ReplacementParts List for ordering by item number.NOTICE: Use of CA accelerant on your model can damage paint. DO NOThandle model until accelerant fully dries.First Flight Preparation1. Remove and inspect contents.2. Charge fl ight battery.3. Read this instruction manual thoroughly.4. Fully assemble model.5.

Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter.9. Adjust fl ight controls and transmitter.10. Perform a radio system Range Check.11. Find a safe and open area.12. Plan fl ight for fl ying fi eld conditions.Maintenance After Flying1. Disconnect fl ight battery from ESC (Required for Safety and battery life).2. Power off transmitter.3. Remove fl ight battery from aircraft.4. Recharge fl ight battery.5. Repair or replace all damaged parts.6. Store fl ight battery apart from aircraft and monitor the battery charge.7.
